How do I do the rest of what the top-level Configure.pl would have done? The README says to "reconfigure perl with all the correct settings", but I don't know what that means. Looks like that Configure.pl runs perl's "Configure" shell script with a bunch of arguments pulled from various sources, but on Win32 you don't use that Configure script to build perl -- instead, you edit win32/Makefile to suit, then cd to win32/ and type "nmake". So I guess the question is: What do I need to do to win32/Makefile to have perl built with parrot? - Steve ------------------------------------------------ Radan Computational Ltd.
